HYDROCARBON-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,959, dated December 146, 1890.

' Applicata ne@ caoba 14, 1890. sean no. 368,064. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that .,I, HARRISON N. Davis, of Armourdale,Jackson county, Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in I-Iydrocarbondurners, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to an improvement in hydrocarbon-burners; and it consists in the novel combination and arrangement of devices, as will be fully specified hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

Referring' to the drawings, which illustrate this invention, Figure l represents au elevation, partly in section, of my invention as applied to a heatingstove. Fig. 2 is a top plan viewof the burner.' Fig. 8 is a sectional view on the line xx of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the water-receptacle through which the oil is sprayed and then escapes through the pipes, arranged preferably as shown. Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view of said water-receptacle. Fig. 6 is a' view showing my invention as applied to an ordinary cookstove or range. Fig. 7 is a top plan view of the burner shown in Fig. 6.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in all the figures7 in which- A represents a water receptacle, which rests, preferably, on the bottom wall of the stove and is provided with the interior and separate chamber B, the upper plate C of which is perforated, as shown. Communicating with the water-receptacle, a suitable distance below its upper wall, is a feed-pipe D, which is connected by an elbow with a vertical pipe E, having a funnel F on its upper end. The horizontal pipe D is provided with a valve G, located in a convenient position to be operated. Communicating with the interior of the inner receptacle B through the bottom of the stove is a pipe Il, which is connected by pipes l and J with an oil-reservoir K. The pipe .l is provided with a valve L.

Extending upward from the cap or upper closed end M of the receptacle A are short pipes N, which communicate with the oilchamber O in the burner P, and, as au additional function,these pipes support the burner at a sufficient distance above the tank A to leave an air-space A3 below said burner, 4by

means of which air maybe :fed to the air-v spaces 0 q i' thereof, as hereinafter described. This burner is provided also with the com partments or oil-chambers Q and R, the se\lv` eral chambers being formed by the partitions S, T, U, and V. The bottom of the chambers O, Q, and R incline downwardly and outwardly to the exterior wall V. chamber is also provided with airopenings o, q, and i'. The inner circular wall S forms the enlarged airopenings IV. These airopenings o, q, o', and w extend entirel7 through the burner and communicate with the airspace A'L". The illustration of the burner in Fig. l is a section on line y y of Fig. 2, thus showing the air chambers or'openings o and i', besides the central openings, while the illustration in Fig. 3 is a section on line x :r of Fig. 2, thus showing the central air-opening and the opening q only. The walls T and U are provided with notches t and u in their upper edges, the purpose of which will be presently described.

ln Fig. 6 I show myinvention provided with the rectangular burner P, constructed, preferably, with the circular wall S inclosing the central air-openings V, the base or bottom of said burner inclining downward toward the outer iiange or wall V', from the openings through which the pipes N communicate with said burner from receptacle A. This burner is also provided with air-openings tu, as shown.

The operation of my invention is as follows: A sufficient quantity of water is ad mitted to the receptacle A through the funnel F and pipes E and D, when the valve G is operated. The valve L is then operated, allowing the oil from the reservoir K to pass through pipes J, l, and Il and enter the interior receptacle B, which, being provided with the perforations, as shown, through its upper wall C, causesthe oil to be sprayed, as shown in Fig. l, and, being lighter than the water,takes the position in the receptacle as shown at X. lt escapes from thence through the pipes N into the chamber O of the burner, where it may be lighted. To allord a greater intensity of heat a greater supply of oil is allowed to pass from the reservoir into the chamber O, thc over-supply in the chamber O Each oil- IOO escaping through the notches or grooves 15 of the Wall T into the chamber Q, and may thence escape through the notches or grooves u of the wall U into the chamber R, surrounded by exterior Wall V.

The several air-openings r, q, and o are provided with the upwardly-extending and surrounding Walls 1", q, and o' to prevent the oil from escaping therethrough. The advantage of the series of air-openings located in the burner, as described, allowing the air to thoroughly permeate and spread the flame, Will be evident.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A hydroearbon-burner consisting of a pan, a ange or upturned portion surrounding the outer edge thereof, apertures for the admission of oil to the burner,a series of partitionwalls arranged coneentrically upon the upper surface of the bottom of the burner, their upper edges lying in the same horizontal plane, and the upper surface of the bottom of said burner being inclined downwardly from the center to the outer edge, thereby forming a series of-oil-chambers of Varying depth, a series of air-openings through said burner, and apertures throughsaid Walls for the passage ot' oil from one chamber to another, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I ai'iix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
